C. S. Lewis wrote a book called The Screwtape Letters, which is a series of letters from a junior devil to a senior devil detailing his attempts at corrupting a man.

The Screwtape Letters of C. S. Lewis are fun to read, and I certainly enjoyed his space trilogy (Perelandra etc). Everyone knws about the Narnia stories. Screwtape Letters, of course. I hear there is a version where John Cleese reads it. THAT I want to hear. Sounds cool. There's actually a C.S. Lewis book I'm interested in reading called The Screwtape Letters, which is a bunch of letters between demons, rather than Satan himself, trying to get a human to sin, or something, which seems slightly similar.

If I had to settle for just ONE book, it would be something by C.S. Lewis, most probably The Screwtape letters.
